BMS and ANed both aim to promote the development and application of statistical methods in scientific research in biology, agriculture, medicine and other related fields. BMS organizes the national activities, such as symposia, the biennial Biometry Conference, Biometry Day (including the ANed Biometry Award ceremony), and the registrations of biostatisticians. ANed manages international contacts through the International Biometric Society's network. Both BMS and ANed members pay a reduced fee to enter the Register of Biostatisticians.
